Not a good look


The Truth Behind the Ape Man (1906)

Directed by Alice Guy Blache this is an early short film. Without knowing what it is a servant drinks his master's hair tonic.

Well to get the obvious out of the way some of the imagery is super racist and at best adjacent to black face. The joke the film is based around is not too bad but unfortunately the execution is not good to modern sensibilities. Probably one to give a miss.

2/5
